Zalman dealers in cebu?

Anyone know where to buy Zalman cooling products in cebu? I've been asking around with no luck. I've tried in Manila but most are at tipidpc.com and I don't know the exact location. I planned to go to the Gilmore area in manila but it rained so hard and it was my last day there.

Naay daghan sa Gilmore area bai. sa cebu wala gyud dealer ani.. i know of a shop that sells this but EXTREME overprice.. they are marking it up by 100~150% of the price..

[tokidoki]

can you name a store in gilmore that sells this? and what's this so-called extreme overpricing store you mentioned aron mabirahan nato sa tinuod. lol. they bluff, we call. simple as that. frankly even most of our stuff here is overprice. i even had to buy some stuff outside to be delivered here and i still can save on the total item including shipping! ing-ana ka tanga ang panan-aw sa uban stores nato diri.

No not really tanga, its more like "Wa nakay lain choice" nah id rather not say the store name para dli ko ma contrahan not sure pero morag member sad siya diri.
I dont have store names bro pero thats what my cousin said he saw those round VGA zalman coolers at Gilmore.

perhaps it's about time we gave your fellow pc modders a choice. hmm....

It's not a bad idea actually. a few of us can work as middlemen to an outside source. If some of us can lend us a credit card and the interested parties can just pay cash to pay off the bill it's probably ok. All we need is the buyers to commit to the items requested. We just to know and address the possible import issues at hand.

i know medyo lisud padala ug stuff diri. in my current experience with plastic models and ordering them direct from japan, one item is ok but if you order a bunch, even if they were toys and look like spare parts it was enough to raise some eyebrows at the CPO. I'll bet if you order airsoft and broke it apart (as what some dealers do) the CPO is already wise to these tactics.

DHL/FEDEX/UPS is unreasonably expensive unless we order a large amount, either way we can subsidize the cost among the ordered items, which will reasonably add a few hundred pesos to the item's cost.

Another drawback is the 3.5% markup rate for credit card transactions in our banks for international orders. This pretty much puts the impression that we're buying stuff at a rate of $1 = Php53-Php55. Labi na karon nga hapit na 3rd to 4th quarter of the year where the peso-dollar value decreases. This means ordering items would be somewhat a 'seasonal' basis where we buy items when the dollar is cheaper. Oh well, at least it's a lot better than hearing that "order-basis" term that I dread so much. hehehe...

But either way, pre, no matter how we look at it, with all the hassles, these items won't even come close to the cost of what some of the stores give us. Believe me I tried finding an excuse that they are much better but I can't. LOL

I hope the rest of the PC enthusiasts can look at this angle.

@tokidoki;

Lisod ng igon ana bai, nga mag dugan tag palit kita tanan then ang uban ana basin walay claro mo bayad.

[tokidoki]

perhaps a policy should be in place for interested buyers. a downpayment perhaps?
